2020 Josef Chromy Fume Blanc
Seasonal conditions for small Sauvignon Blanc harvest of 2020 dictated that the fruit best be dedicated to oak, with a Fume Blanc produced in lieu of a Sauvignon Blanc for this vintage.
The nose is herbaceous and nutty, with hints of green gooseberry.
On the palate, rockmelon and textural grapefruit pithiness sit alongside greener tropical fruit characters typical of the estate Sauvignon Blanc. Six months barrel age adds a creme brulee creaminess, that has further softened with an additional 18 months in bottle.
Best enjoyed with food, with lingering acidity cleansing the palate. Drink now.
